red lights on the prairies

Bit of an interesting fact; I have been reading this book which recounts the history of prostitution and the seedy underbellies of cities on the Canadian Prairies during late 1800's and early 1900's. I discovered that Annabella St. has a well established history of prostitution, and was the center point of the red light district in Winnipeg in the early 1900's. Apparently the street boasted the brightest red lights of all such districts, and was famously the brightest street in the entire city.
